Tucked just off Lewiston's main drag - Center Street - sits
one of the village's most versatile dining venues. A mix of traditional
Hellenic foods and regular pub fare, Syros Family Restaurant offers a fine
selection of dishes at reasonable prices.

Buffalo's annual Pan-Hellenic Festival, which takes place
each summer, has sparked a general competition among area Greek restaurants to
produce the best Greek cuisine. Syros has certainly stepped up to that
challenge.

Classic Greek plates offered range from the souvlaki
platter—complete with a choice of chicken, beef or gyro, and accompanied by
Greek salad, Greek potatoes and pita bread for $12.99— to falafel for $6.99,
which are sure not to disappoint. Every facet of the menu at Syros manages to
incorporate a Greek adaptation for each dish they carry.

Syros also plays to the American taste with a wide variety
of all-American favorites. Available anytime are the restaurant's breakfast
specials, including the mega-saver "2+2+2," consisting of two eggs - cooked
any way - two pancakes, and your choice of two sausage or bacon slices at only
$6.99. For those who appreciate finer dining, the 10 oz. New York strip steak
at $12.99 is sure to please.

The best part? The prices. From a median price of $6.99, the
most expensive items cap at $12.99 - well within even the most frugal of
college students' budgets.
